Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke at a public rally in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, addressing several issues. He mentioned that Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has already admitted defeat by asking him not to scrap the welfare schemes started by the Congress in the state. Modi guaranteed that the BJP will not discontinue any of these schemes if they come into power. He also stated that the BJP will contest the upcoming assembly election using their party symbol, the lotus.
